im moving to a new state soon and i want to take up boxing but the problem is finding a reliable, and as you put it - humble - trainer or training gym
if there's a gym in the area you're going to, maybe try to express to the owner that you might be interested in joining, and ask to sit in and watch some training and sparring one night. if you can, ask the owner about his history with boxing, and just listen.
you will know who's there for their love of the sport and to better themselves, and who's there because they have issues and are looking to hurt someone. when you're squared up, it's very revealing.
